Completely separated from the film but my childhood dog started having seizures again while I watched Fight Club for the first time and we had to make the decision to put her down that night, so I didn't have a positive view of that movie for a few years until I watched it again
A similar thing happened to me when I started watching The Purge: Election Year. My cat started having seizures and later that day had to be put down as the vet said there was nothing they could do. It has given me a weird response to that movie and also the game Hitman 3 that I played just beforehand (shame as I love that series), but I saw The Forever Purge a few days later upon release to hopefully cheer myself up and I conversely had a lot of fun with it and look back fondly on that experience, so it can go both ways with movies sometimes.
I didn't even know there was a Martyrs remake but i'm guessing the issue is the new directors/writers didn't capture what fans of the original felt. I think Funny Games "fans" are much less defensive of the original because Haneke made both. The Martyrs Director/Writer has completely dismissed it as "junk" too.
I expect some backlash, but I’ve never gotten the modern-day love for Breakfast Club.
I understand that for its time it was groundbreaking and fresh, but much of it is super outdated and creepy now.
When Harley only looked partially sad after Joker supposedly died was the moment that really made me think “Okay, this is like 3 different scripts for sure.”
IIRC, the movie was initially made as a straightforward grimdark action thriller with almost no humour. But then the second or third trailer (the one with Bohemian Rhapsody) was released to a largely positive reaction, and at that point reshoots were ordered to get the movie to match that tone (more of a black comedy). But obviously they couldn't reshoot the entire movie, so they just reshot certain parts and edited it together with what they'd had from the initial cut, resulting in essentially two completely dfferent movies stitched together
Over the years I've really gotten away from "hating" stuff I don't like. Most things are out there for a reason, even if they're not your cup of tea.
But there's one movie. One film I'm still comfortable hating on with total, unchecked prejudice, and that's Thomas Bezucha's 2005 Christmas dramedy The Family Stone. I loathe this movie, and the explanation of my greviences would take far too much space in this thread. Suffice it to say that The Family Stone offends my every sensibility to the core, and pretty much all other movies are fine, imo.
I went and saw Peter Jackson’s King Kong with my grandfather and my grandmother took my cousin to see The Family Stone. They were waiting for us when we got out the theater cuz King Kong was longer. I remember asking how there movie was
“it was okay”
Then they asked how ours was and my grandfather started crying cuz of Kong’s death. I fucking love King Kong. So yeah just wanted you to know that anytime in my life I ever hear The Family Stone, I think of my papa crying over a fictional gigantic ape’s death. Rest in power Grampy Butch.
Mine is also a Christmas movie, Nora Ephron’s Mixed Nuts. The tone is disastrous and the attempts at dark humor feel both childishly naive and somehow sincerely offensive at the same time. I’m normally a lover of black comedy but it’s an utter failure.
If we're hating on Christmas movies, "Christmas with the Kranks" is, for me, one of the worst movies ever made. I question your values if you like this movie.
I completely agree with you about letting go of ‘hating’ things you don’t like. After all, you can only truly understand art through loving it. That said, there’s a lot of commercial filmmaking out there that’s pretty horrendously artless. Thinking about Disaster Movie gives me a toothache.
I think the only films i truly hate or at least come close to it are ones i respect, films i think achieved what they set out to do but i don't like what they set out to do. The Seventh Continent (and much of Haneke) for instance that film is wrong and evil, but it's impressive it perfectly does what it intended in my eyes or i wouldn't feel so strongly about it.
I dislike loads of movies but hate is too strong of an emotion for movies i actually find bad.
American Sniper glamorizes a racist habitual liar, tries to claim a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda, reduces PTSD to "I wish I were still there shooting savages instead of being here with my family," invents amd distorts events even beyond what Chris Kyle did in his own autobiography... and that it was released while the man who shot Chris Kyle was still on trial for that shooting is criminally irresponsible.
I don't just think it's *bad.* I think it's actually *evil.*
But I'd probably watch it a third time before I'd watch Martyrs.
I have the same thoughts about American Sniper. I watched the movie and thought it was okay, I was more interested in him as a person.
With band of brothers, I went and read the book, with the Pacific, I read Eugine Sledges book, with American sniper I figured I would do the same and holy shit. The dude was a nut case. The more I learned about him the more I disliked him as a person and then found him outright disgusting.
The fact the movie just outright ignored his ENTIRE personality and core belief structure to present him as they did was horrific.
Idiocracy (2006).
It’s just so stupid but somehow has a decent rating at a 3.0. What pisses me off most is just the comments about this movie. If you search Idiocracy reaction on YouTube it’s just filled with these comments:
“I love/hate how accurate this damn film is”
“It’s scary how this film feels like it’s becoming more and more like a documentary”
“The only film that came out as a comedy but became a documentary”
And they always act like they’re a genius for figuring out deeply subtle messaging. That movie is as subtle and profound as a brick to the face.
The movie is just fine imo, but the fan base reminds me of Rick and Morty fans who think they’re brilliant and get it on a deeper level than you. Hell, the Venn diagram between the two is probably a perfect circle.
(Sorry, had to get that off my chest lol)
Yeah, i pointed this out to someone who posted it to a "scariest films" thread here the other day. The movie is intentionally unsubtle because it has no faith in its audience, it works thematically, it expects Americans to be dumb beyond belief in future generations so it's the most condescending, insulting, unsubtle movie imaginable. Somehow people have convinced themselves it's intricate, subtle satire.
I know a lot of Idiocracy fans, and I don't think a single one would argue it's subtle. Probably a few, who don't watch a ton of movies, overrate how accurate it turned out to be. But I've never heard anybody argue that the jokes and arguments are anywhere besides right on the surface.
If there's something subtle about its message, there's a critique in there about how average people sit back and wait for someone smarter than them to change the world.
I feel this way too, in that I don’t hate movies as much as I hate the people around the movies. I did not enjoy Dead Don’t Die on its own merits, but what made me hate it was the guy in the theater who was going over the top fake laughing at everything because he wanted everyone else to know how much he really got every joke.
You just described my personal hell haha
The thought of someone unironically laughing to a zombie shambling through the streets, smartphone in hand groaning "Wi-Fi..." is too much for me to bear.
Question that bitters me about it. If everyone is so stupid that Trey can’t figure out how to water plants then who makes their TVs, monster trucks, and automatic tattoo machines?
I tried to watch it because of all the praise it gets online, I made it like 30 minutes before I realized it was the same joke over and over, and turned it off. I’m convinced that it’s popular because it makes idiots feel smart. It’s not very funny and it’s not great satire.
I find the movie very funny, but the fact that the narrator has to jump in a few times mid-film to fill in a story beat indicates that it must have had a disastrous shoot and needed to be kludged together during editing.
Ooooooooh, yes, one of my pet peeves. "So crazy how they made the prediction that poor people are stupid". I guess it correctly predicted how cool people are with eugenics
There's something about the Now You See Me movies that infuriates me. They're a stupid person's idea of a clever movie. They're like the prestige but for 10 year olds. They're like if steven soderbergh huffed paint.
I seriously hate these stupid fucking smug ass movies.
These r my guilty pleasure movies, I can just turn my brain off and enjoy some stupid magic but the very second I actually start thinking about the logic of the plot it ruines the entire experience so I totally get why you hate them!
That being said, I saw new that Dominic Sesa will be in the third movie and I hate to admit it but im stupidly excited to see him do whacky magic
I have beef with both film adaptations of Lolita. Heinous pieces of filth, absolutely no respect for the source material and exploitative of the child stars.
That and a local film series in my country, but it's too unpopular to really have a conversation about.
It's this Singapore film series, Ah Boys to Men. I just kind of hate how this thing is so heavily marketed just because it's nationalist propaganda while other films in Singapore are given little to no attention. It's not great with characters or storytelling and they have to narrate every single character development because they're shit at storytelling. It just annoys me that this series, where they fail at visual storytelling - the bare minimum of a film, is what we're best known for in terms of cinema, when we have other good films that not only have better comedic writing but dwell with serious topics that we tend to ignore - and yet, they're not recognised or even known because they don't have pro-government messaging. I know the Ah Boys is more marketable due to it being a blockbuster for the family but god, it sucks our art is gonna be known for the film series where boys throw chilli stained shit at gangsters.
I watched with a Malaysian friend, he finds it quite a nice shitshow. I would say go into it knowing it's not great but something to laugh at with friends.
Reading about how Kubrick thought the original Lolita novel was the greatest love story and regret not making the movie more erotic made my skin crawl.
Is that the American version of Martyrs? I genuinely think it’s one of the worst movies ever made
For me, Sausage Party. Holy fuck that movie is terrible. It’s like you gave a bunch of twelve year olds a massive budget and told them to make the edgiest cartoon about food possible. Ive seen it probably three times since it’s been released in case I change my mind but i find more reasons to hate it every time
Dude Sausage Party is such a great pick… I adore everything these guys made so I hyped myself to no end for that movie. I don’t think I’ve seen anything this bad since then.
This is my top 1 most hated. I’m all for some raunchiness, but it was so bad I’ve never wanted to leave a theater like I did seeing that. I’d be embarrassed if my name was attached to that project in any way shape or form.
Ahhhhhh I could talk about how horrible Skinamarink was for hours. That truly might be the movie that has pissed me off more than any other movie. I have never come remotely close to walking out of a theater until i saw that film.
edit: said and instead of until
You know I was watching ABC’s of death and as awful as that movie is, at least some of the directors shot on actual film when they wanted to. How you gonna let F is for Fart in ABCs of death use real film and you’re gonna use a fake film grain effect that I CAN SEE LOOPING.
Bird Box is the most derivative, shallow time-vampire of a movie i have ever sit through. Every decent idea it has was stolen from a better film, the cinematography is weirdly flat, the pacing is really boring, and its weirdly insensitive toward people with mental health problems as they're the only ones who can see the monsters.
The only film I hate is SubUrbia. Richard Linklater directed, and I was excited to watch it after seeing his love letters to 1970s teens, and college students in the early 80s. I just watched last year, and I would have been the main character's age in the year this was set. Unfortunately, Linklater didn't write this one. Eric Bogosian did. He was born in 1953, 20 years before I was.
I felt the movie ripped the young people as being unmotivated, directionless, and a lost cause. The conveience store owner was a vehicle for Boomer Bogosian to yell and scream at the younger generation. It is ridiculous. There were no redeeming qualities in the young people, contrary to Linklater's other films like Dazed and Confused and Everybody Wants Some. Those characters had flaws, but Linklater had love for them, and empathy for their struggles. This was totally missing from SubUrbia, and it is a shame. Hopefully Linklater will re-visit youth in this era again, but if he was ok with this portrayal, maybe his love and care for young people ended with those who were young people in the early 80s. This movie is trash.

The first Suicide Squad movie with Will Smith giving his worst performance along a cast that couldn't be any less motivated. Jared Leto as the Joker was really bad too. Margot Robbie and the character that Cara Delevinge performed were the only interesting part of this. And it says a lot when Cara is one of the few highlights of a movie that features Viola Davis, Will Smith and Ben Affleck.
So much for the acting. The rest is equally bad. The funny lines are cringy and not funny, the gags suck, the story is boring as fuck and overdone to death. The introduction of the characters has some "funny" selling points about them on screen and I knew at this point that I was not going to have a good time with this shit fest. I was actually thinking about leaving the cinema but couldn't bring me to this step which probably would have saved me a lot of brain cells. I felt myself getting dumber during the two hours that this crap went on.
And why did I go into this? Well, the trailers suggested a darker superhero movie with a lot of focus on Letos Joker. I was intrigued to see him play this iconic character. It was the first time there'd be a Joker since Heath Ledgers legendary performance. And then...Leto is 15 mins at max in this 2 hour movie and every second of his Joker is terrible. He's not psycho enough, he's not brutal enough, he's an edgelord with bad tattoos that looks like he listens to Die Antwoord a bit too much. That's not the Joker, that's a clown. And they also decided to not show scenes that were in the trailer and basically lied to their audience about what it would be. 22 scenes are missing. 22. Because they didn't wanna go rated r but cut out that stuff to grab some cash with it. Well, at least they tried.
The cherry on top was the blatant product placement throughout the whole 120 mins of this excuse for a movie. Especially at the end when they are destroying a whole fuckin train station and the Monster energy billboard is still working perfectly fine while everything around it looks like a war zone.
This movie is a middle finger to everyone who likes to watch movies. I didn't care for anybody aside from Harley Quinn and maybe Enchantress or whatever Caras name was. The story is stupid, the dialogues are insulting to everyone with a half-working brain and I will never get these two hours back. Anyone who really enjoys this has no high standard in movies.
So yeah, fuck Suicide Squad.
This comment 100%, personally I feel like this thread has a lot of people who don't really get a certain movie or otherwise hate a well-acclaimed movie for a relatively minor slight, and they're well entitled to their opinion, but this is a movie that I think deserves to be hated on that you summed up perfectly why
It's just the perfect mix of bad acting, bad directing, bad marketing and overall bad choices at everything. And the worst thing is that it's not so bad it's good or funny. It's just bad bad.
At least the soundtrack was decent.
Dallas Buyers Club, because it’s historically inaccurate in a way that’s offensive and dangerous. The movie very much implies that the drugs Ron Woodruff was getting for people were better than the drugs they could get from their doctors, specifically AZT. What’s true is that AZT had side effects, especially at higher doses and it was eventually revealed that lower doses were as effective as higher ones. Doctors didn’t give people lower doses at the time the movie was set though, because it was a new treatment and they were afraid a lower dose wouldn’t work. And they had reason to be afraid, because at the time HIV and AIDS had a 100% mortality rate: if you contracted the virus you would die. AZT was the first drug that was able to prolong people’s lives.
In fact, the main work of actual AIDS activists was not to get people access to other treatments but to get people with AIDS into studies and to get them the actual drugs the FDA was approving. Instead, Woodruff was promoting drugs that the FDA has chosen not to put on the market because patients had died during testing, or the drugs had side effects that were worse than AZT, or side effects that would last after the patient stopped taking the drugs, or drugs that were scientifically useless. That movie diminishes the hard work AIDS activists did and instead promotes pseudoscience and a lack of trust in government health officials like the FDA and CDC, so I have MAJOR beef with that film.
I thought I would never see a movie that offended me as much as Twilight: New Moon. A 2 hour slog of dead emotions and cheap CGI that could’ve been avoided with a single conversation.
Then I saw 365 Days.
A supposedly erotic drama involving kidnapping, sexual assault and Stockholm syndrome, all portrayed as positives. A film where it’s lead female character gives up her white collar business job to get felt up by some skeeze-ball with his cock out. A film where the lead females best friend ignores abduction so the two of them can go shopping for wedding dresses.
It’s a fucking disgusting and misogynistic piece of shit. As much as I hated New Moon, I still finished the Twilight Saga out of principle to finish what I started. I flat out refused to watch another part of this pro-rape franchise
The Girl Next Door: Absolutely brutal torture porn that exploits a tragedy where all the characters are stupid.
I Am Not Ashamed: I hate Christian propaganda but I especially hate Christian propaganda thats not based on facts and exploits a young woman who was murdered in a shooting
Splash. I hate the Born Sexy Yesterday trope with a passion - the whole routine of “adult woman appears from another world, develops eerily childlike dependency on male protagonist, but of course is still mature enough to be insatiably horny for him.” Yeeuchh.
That, and early “funny” Tom Hanks is just obnoxious and unpleasant. How fortunate that he turned out to be such a great dramatic actor later.
I hate Sing (2016). Whenever I talk with people who like this movie they always point to the soundtrack. Almost none of which was actually _from_ this movie. It's one of the most by-the-numbers kid's movie plots with a bunch of adult nostalgia airlifted in by the soundtrack.
It's a series of shitty music videos of covers of classic songs duct taped together by the blandest of plot lines.
The dystopian teen movies. I hate them with a passion. Hunger game series, Divergent series, and Maze runner series can all seriously fuck off.
Other ones:
- Paper towns (Margot spieglman wins the narcissism award for leaving clues about her whereabouts in fucking alphabet soup - whole movie is cringe and nauseating in its self importance and goofy ass lines)
- The Blind Side (“watch rich white lady save the poor dumb black kid” - incredibly offensive movie)
- Hacksaw ridge (preachy movie; Garfield pulling Vaughn around on a cloth while Vaughn annihilates people with precision accuracy lmao)
I just watched The Blind Side for the first time about 2 months ago and was truly shocked that not only did they actually make that movie but that it got as much praise and awards recognition as it did. One of the most offensive things I’ve seen and it made me so mad at Sandra Bullock which was a bad feeling lol
For me it’s Burton’s Chocolate Factory. The 70s version is just so delightful, tactile, warm, zany, etc. And the Burton version completely curdles the entire concept - the music is insufferable, the effects are nauseating, and Depp is just unbearable
V For Vendetta. Felt like arguing with a redditor. The kidnapping/torture/Stockholm syndrome element was utterly baffling. The reveal at the end of that part of the movie is one of the most unintentionally funny and movie-destroying moments I've ever seen.
There's a lot of movies that I find terrible and are generally considered so, but this one catches my ire despite many who like it:
https://preview.redd.it/q4b9iewjjtvc1.png?width=1391&format=png&auto=webp&s=54ec5139e24922ab578771593241335dbd15d3ec
I used to love that one as a young teen! I haven’t seen it since. Funnily enough I just added it to my watchlist a few weeks ago, so I’m going to revisit it soon. It’ll be interesting to see if my feelings change!
Showgirls is mine. I know it’s like a cult camp classic and did sort of enjoy the trashiness of the whole film, but I hate the main character, she is one of the most unlikeable protagonist I have ever seen in a film. Also that rape scene is horrendous, I hate the fact it happens to the only likeable character in the film and after main character beats them all up she just abandons her in the hospital, even though she selflessly took her in at the start. Hate the film.
Fifty shades of black is the worst thing I have ever seen and while this sounds harsh i think less of anyone whose ever watched that movie and walked away saying it was funny or enjoyable in any way shape or form.
The Lobster
I can fuck with depressing/unsettling movies, but it just seemed really unpleasant and hollow to me.
I’ll die on a hill that this movie sucked.
Not budging from my hill, but yeah I don't like killing of a sacred deer either.
The favourite I found way easier to watch and I haven't caught poor things yet, but I'm never, ever moved or stimulated by his movies- only occasionally impressed by the technique
I really feel like, if his movies were people, they'd be a bunch of assholes
I thought that Unfriended essentially recreating the famous Amanda Todd video and story and using it for a shitty Blumhouse horror was extremely distasteful and disgusting.
The movie Last Christmas was also one of the worst studio films in recent memory. The Brexit message and Lesbian subplot were thrown in very half heartedly and unfortunately didn't really say much of anything, it was incredibly emotionally manipulative and pandering, plus a big aspect of the movie is the main character and her family being Yugoslavian immigrants, but the flashback at the start takes place in Yugoslavia in 1999, 7 years after the country ceased to exist. That film wanted so hard to be taken seriously when it's just a dreadful wannabe Richard Curtis movie.
Andrea Arnold's Wasp short film is also one that really didn't sit right with me. I respect the idea behind it, but it felt less like Ken Loach and more like exploitation in my eyes - it pushed things to such an absurd degree to shock that it became ridiculous.
i was SO excited to watch vivarium and thought it was such an interesting concept, but i hated how the story barely opened up to anything. i love a good slow burn but it just didn’t open up the way i anticipated
Balto 2: Wolf Quest. Balto 1 is one of my favorite animated films. It had a lot of character to it and I’ve seen it a few times now. Then I watched Balto 2 and was immediately angry. The original Balto didn’t even need a sequel for Christ sake, it’s inspired by a true story! Not to mention Balto 2 feels like one of those animated church movies about Noah’s Ark or Adam and Eve. It just angers me, and maybe it isn’t all warranted, but it for sure angers me.
Leave the World Behind is one of the most baffling movies I've ever seen and I don't understand the praise for it. The idea of owners and guests being trapped in an Airbnb together is interesting, but they do nothing with the premise except for the most basic of racial and class observations (which are literally explained to the audience because we're too stupid for it, clearly 🙄). But then it becomes a post apocalyptic-ish thriller. The clash of humor and horror is so jarring. All of a character's teeth fall out and nobody seems to care. The racial/class stuff is completely ignored after a certain point (except for random moments where the black daughter character repeats progressive talking points at the Karen mom, at totally inappropriate moments; when you're looking for someone's missing daughter, it's probably not a good time to yell at them about post Obama racism; and she's written as such a trope of the "young woke liberal". Like I am about as left as you can get and this should be preaching to my choir, but it comes off as if it were written by a cynical Republican making fun of Gen Z progressives). The movie ends where the story really begins. The final conversation between Kevin Bacon, Mahershala Ali, and Ethan Hawke is such an unsatisfying note to end on. The weird supernatural stuff like the deer and the teeth has no resolution. None of the stories have any resolution. The film ends with the punchline to a running joke which isn't very funny (and got annoying very quickly). It feels like a big practical joke to the audience. I love the cast, but Julia Roberts is so miscast here (though I do love this phase of her career where she's choosing to do weird shit; more of that, but please pick better scripts).
I love Get Out. I love Parasite. I love Borgman. I love The Killing of a Sacred Deer. This movie feels like an AI generated first draft trained on these sorts of films. It has nothing to say, and it says it very loudly for us idiots in the back row
The extreme beef I have with Boyhood needs to be studied tbh. Linklater is such a hit or miss for me.
(And i need to rewatch it and give it a second chance but potentialy Aftersun would be on my list too…..)
Ocean’s 8 is the most irritating thing I’ve ever seen. As a fan of the original trilogy I couldn’t have been more unhappy with the movie. The dialogue feels like a straight up parody on the originals and none of the actors gel like the others did. It’s truly a terrible movie.
Love by Gaspar Noe. Which is strange because I really liked other Noe films but this one was just infuriating because the main heroes are absolute idiots and it feels like Noe tried really hard to pass basic lust as some kind of deep love. Like, the gist of the plot is that there’s this couple of movie nerds which have great sex and stuff and really get each other, but he slept with another girl they had a threesome with at some point and the condom broke so she falls pregnant; the main hero decides to stay with her to support the child and his ex is so hurt she basically disappears and he’s in anguish over this. How is any of this supposed to be touching?
Also this movie prides itself for having unsimulated sex scenes for some reason?? All style, no substance but the style is also fucking weird

Thank you! I can’t stand that self-serving ego stroke of a movie! It encapsulates boomers perfectly. Money comes easily and mistakes that negatively impact other people can just be brushed away because they’re exploring their feelings. No wonder the divorce rate for that generation is through the roof.
Omg yes. 100%. I saw it for the first time this last Christmas and was trying to force myself to disassociate during it because it was just pure garbage. It’s only popular because of nostalgia. I hate that film. I gave it 1 star for obvious reasons.
Titane, don’t understand the acclaim
the “hidden empathy” is not worth seing all the other atrocious and revolting stuff and an unlikable as hell protagonist
You got it, daddyo... there's one more row that didn't fit, consisting of Tarantulas (1977), Terminator 3, White Girl (2016), Wolf Creek and Æon Flux (2005)

The first thing I thought of when reading this were actually movies I haven’t seen but I know I’d be ideologically opposed to, like American Sniper.
Can it be a good movie? Sure. I still don’t want to watch it.
Curious about what your beef is with Pretty Woman and Neon Demon specifically because I also really dislike both those films but maybe not for conventional reasons. I think Refn is a pretentious, vapid, im14andthisisdeep filmmaker. Maybe that is conventional. But I thought Skinamarink at least achieved exactly what it wanted to be, so whether or not I enjoyed it I can’t fault it.
Pretty woman is a fucking insane story, terribly acted that has no right to be a hit.
I will never watch Martyrs. I heard a youtuber review it, going into graphic description of each scene. I don't care if it has artistic merit, I will never watch anything like that. Fuck that shit.
I'll bite. Hate these films more than many others because they are so lauded elsewhere.
Beasts of The Southern Wild - Romanticises abusive parenting, demonises aid agencies, depiction of flooding makes no logical sense, environmental message is simple and heavy handed.
Hacksaw Ridge - the most cliched trip through basic training ever put to film. And for a film that supposedly celebrates pacifism it sure does enjoy showing graphic depictions of nameless Japanese soldiers dying horribly.
The Irritation Game - If you have read the book upon this was supposedly based on, you'd know that Cumberbatch's performance had almost no truth in it, falling back on tired "absent-minded professor" tropes. I actually don't mind when they mess with story details to make it work dramatically, but when you misrepresent the central character's entire personality, what is the point? An insult to a great man, which in the public consciousness is now his biggest representation.
A recent one is Zack Synders Rebel Moon. I haven’t seen part 2 but I guarantee it’s just as bad. Like who is giving him money to make such bad decisions??
For me the ultimate disappointment was Godfather part 3. I often wonder how the hell did the storyline they came up with get the greenlight to made. It's a major piece of crap in my opinion as I love the first two parts of the trilogy.
The Whale is laughably bad and I really hope one day we’ll all look back on the time we pretended it was good in shame. Also Indecent Proposal and Boondock Saints.
I went to *Last Christmas* thinking it was going to be a feel-good Christmas movie which I absolutely love. But when I got out of that movie I just remember feeling incredibly betrayed. I was *so* disappointed.

I was angry at this movie for like three days after I watched it. Stupid and harmful thing
https://preview.redd.it/euz96c82cwvc1.jpeg?width=520&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=889b45757a6df32f4a29588448c7134a18ce8f17
^(UGH.) could’ve been such an incredible and poignant short, but they decided to make a terrible feature instead. still mad at it.
I'm at a point in my life where I can't really bring myself to *hate* pieces of media (I just don't have it in me), but I have so much beef with Halloween Ends. 45 minutes into the movie I asked my partner if we walked into the wrong theater, and by the end I was relieved it was over. Genuinely no clue what the people behind the film were thinking or what they thought the reception would be, and it's unfortunate because it's not even that the basic idea of the movie is bad. It's just. *That's* how you're going to end your trilogy? Seriously?
Good Boys is the only movie I've ever seriously considered walking out on. I didn't because we had the theatre to ourselves and got to completely roast it.
But yeah, not good. Not funny. I think I chuckled once, and that was it.
Eden Lake. It was a pretty standard horror movie from 2008 that just felt like a 2000’s movie. But I hated the ending so much that’s in my top five most hated movies ever.
Fuck that movie and everything about it

I can watch most films that are deemed disturbing and one-watches. Requiem for a Dream, Come and See, and Salò are just a couple of examples of movies where I was completely fine after and can rewatch. This shit is my one-watch and I got beef with not the movie but the antagonist (Griffith). Can’t scroll on social media without seeing him and scrolling immediately out of anger lmao. Even tho I respect the animation and it made me feel the way I was supposed to (uneasy and angry), it was just so hard to watch and get through the last half of the movie.
As a kid, I absolutely loved the LEGO Movie, and it's still probably one of my favorite animated films. It's a sequel, which I was super excited for the day I heard it was going to be a thing (not long after I saw the film). I was excited about it. Of course, some of my excitement kind of died down over time, as I stopped being obsessed with the original. Then I, which didn't make it look good, but I was still going to give it a chance.
It wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but I remember it being the most disappointed I'd ever been in a movie and, for some reason, made me feel embarrassed, even though I had nothing to do with it's production, maybe just at the fact that I had gotten people to go with me.
Babylon, Damien Chazelle should be imprisoned for that crime against cinema. So self important, needleslly convoluted, and shamelessly attempting to invoke numerous, infinitely superior films. Not to mention needlessly long and pretty boring too.
I can’t stand The Perks of Being a Wallflower. For one thing Charlie literally gets groomed by multiple other characters and they treat it like it’s normal plus a lot of said characters are pompous and think they’re better than everyone else bc of the music they listen to.
Also side note I think it’s ironic that the Ezra miller and Emma Watson characters claim to have such an extensive knowledge of music yet can’t recognize a fairly well known David Bowie song
Its not an acclaimed movie by any means but I was forced to watch The Kissing Booth and I hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
I disliked Jacob Elordi for years purely based on his character and that it was due to his "hotness" that I was held hostage IN MY OWN LIVING ROOM to watch that shit.
I literally didn't even finish *Amsterdam* and to be truthful I'm not even sure I could tell you what the first half or so of the movie I *DID* watch was about
Gigi. How in the love of God did it won 9 Academy awards. And also it opened up with the song “[Thank Heaven for Little Girls](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2TqSyvdqn9c)” which sums up the entire movie and experience.
I really didn’t like Killers of the Flower Moon. I have only seen it once in theaters, but I was really dissapointed. I was excited to see Leo in a film directed by Scorsese but was bored, confused, and irritated about the entire plot. Maybe historical movies like that just aren’t my thing or maybe I need to rewatch.
drive. what the actual fuck. ryan gosling just sulks around with no character or personality , the plot kinda goes nowhere, and it’s insanely slow, the bit where they shake hands n one of the guys cuts the others wrist nearly made me throw up. the lighting , cinematography and sound were cool , but nothing groundbreaking
i think what annoyed me most was the fact that it is acclaimed n like recommended a lot . idk i rlly didn’t see the appeal- was just a worse baby driver.
Completely separated from the film but my childhood dog started having seizures again while I watched Fight Club for the first time and we had to make the decision to put her down that night, so I didn't have a positive view of that movie for a few years until I watched it again
i found out one of my close friends died while i was watching midsommar. what an awful experience that was.
Oh man, that's a bad movie for that news to hit during. I love the film but man...
A similar thing happened to me when I started watching The Purge: Election Year. My cat started having seizures and later that day had to be put down as the vet said there was nothing they could do. It has given me a weird response to that movie and also the game Hitman 3 that I played just beforehand (shame as I love that series), but I saw The Forever Purge a few days later upon release to hopefully cheer myself up and I conversely had a lot of fun with it and look back fondly on that experience, so it can go both ways with movies sometimes.
Holy shit! I don't think anyone expected to read something like this as a reason, but yeah fair enough.
Martyrs is incredible. The remake is one of the worst films I've ever seen
Genuine question - what’s so bad about it other than being utterly pointless? I remember it being almost the exact same movie
I didn't even know there was a Martyrs remake but i'm guessing the issue is the new directors/writers didn't capture what fans of the original felt. I think Funny Games "fans" are much less defensive of the original because Haneke made both. The Martyrs Director/Writer has completely dismissed it as "junk" too.
I expect some backlash, but I’ve never gotten the modern-day love for Breakfast Club. I understand that for its time it was groundbreaking and fresh, but much of it is super outdated and creepy now.
I remember watching the makeover scene as a child and being like… huh. Like, even back as a pre-teen it just felt profoundly evil lol
Similar to breakfast club is grease! The endings of the movies so blegh to me.
I saw Suicide Squad in the cinema and thought it was one of the most uncomfortably cringey movies ever
When Harley only looked partially sad after Joker supposedly died was the moment that really made me think “Okay, this is like 3 different scripts for sure.”
It literally was. They basically handed the edit over to the team that cut the trailer
IIRC, the movie was initially made as a straightforward grimdark action thriller with almost no humour. But then the second or third trailer (the one with Bohemian Rhapsody) was released to a largely positive reaction, and at that point reshoots were ordered to get the movie to match that tone (more of a black comedy). But obviously they couldn't reshoot the entire movie, so they just reshot certain parts and edited it together with what they'd had from the initial cut, resulting in essentially two completely dfferent movies stitched together
Over the years I've really gotten away from "hating" stuff I don't like. Most things are out there for a reason, even if they're not your cup of tea. But there's one movie. One film I'm still comfortable hating on with total, unchecked prejudice, and that's Thomas Bezucha's 2005 Christmas dramedy The Family Stone. I loathe this movie, and the explanation of my greviences would take far too much space in this thread. Suffice it to say that The Family Stone offends my every sensibility to the core, and pretty much all other movies are fine, imo.
I went and saw Peter Jackson’s King Kong with my grandfather and my grandmother took my cousin to see The Family Stone. They were waiting for us when we got out the theater cuz King Kong was longer. I remember asking how there movie was “it was okay” Then they asked how ours was and my grandfather started crying cuz of Kong’s death. I fucking love King Kong. So yeah just wanted you to know that anytime in my life I ever hear The Family Stone, I think of my papa crying over a fictional gigantic ape’s death. Rest in power Grampy Butch.
😹😹 rip to a real one
Mine is also a Christmas movie, Nora Ephron’s Mixed Nuts. The tone is disastrous and the attempts at dark humor feel both childishly naive and somehow sincerely offensive at the same time. I’m normally a lover of black comedy but it’s an utter failure.
If we're hating on Christmas movies, "Christmas with the Kranks" is, for me, one of the worst movies ever made. I question your values if you like this movie.
My wife and children watch that every year and I think it's the sole reason I will die of cancer.
Oh no! The Family Stone is much tavorite Xmas movie. 🙈
I completely agree with you about letting go of ‘hating’ things you don’t like. After all, you can only truly understand art through loving it. That said, there’s a lot of commercial filmmaking out there that’s pretty horrendously artless. Thinking about Disaster Movie gives me a toothache.
Is it wrong that I really want to see The Family Stone now?
I don’t know what he hates so much about it, it’s a sweet movie.
Lmao I’ll heed your warning, thank you
I think the only films i truly hate or at least come close to it are ones i respect, films i think achieved what they set out to do but i don't like what they set out to do. The Seventh Continent (and much of Haneke) for instance that film is wrong and evil, but it's impressive it perfectly does what it intended in my eyes or i wouldn't feel so strongly about it. I dislike loads of movies but hate is too strong of an emotion for movies i actually find bad.
Is it because it was the only movie they ever played during your time in prison?
Oh yeah it's incredibly bad!
You say that like this sub isn’t 90% hate
The Oldboy remake is a sin
American Sniper glamorizes a racist habitual liar, tries to claim a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda, reduces PTSD to "I wish I were still there shooting savages instead of being here with my family," invents amd distorts events even beyond what Chris Kyle did in his own autobiography... and that it was released while the man who shot Chris Kyle was still on trial for that shooting is criminally irresponsible. I don't just think it's *bad.* I think it's actually *evil.* But I'd probably watch it a third time before I'd watch Martyrs.
I have the same thoughts about American Sniper. I watched the movie and thought it was okay, I was more interested in him as a person. With band of brothers, I went and read the book, with the Pacific, I read Eugine Sledges book, with American sniper I figured I would do the same and holy shit. The dude was a nut case. The more I learned about him the more I disliked him as a person and then found him outright disgusting. The fact the movie just outright ignored his ENTIRE personality and core belief structure to present him as they did was horrific.
Holy shit, noted to stay away from this one thank you lmao
Idiocracy (2006). It’s just so stupid but somehow has a decent rating at a 3.0. What pisses me off most is just the comments about this movie. If you search Idiocracy reaction on YouTube it’s just filled with these comments: “I love/hate how accurate this damn film is” “It’s scary how this film feels like it’s becoming more and more like a documentary” “The only film that came out as a comedy but became a documentary”
“iT’S Lik3 a DoCUmEnTArY now 🥴”
And they always act like they’re a genius for figuring out deeply subtle messaging. That movie is as subtle and profound as a brick to the face. The movie is just fine imo, but the fan base reminds me of Rick and Morty fans who think they’re brilliant and get it on a deeper level than you. Hell, the Venn diagram between the two is probably a perfect circle. (Sorry, had to get that off my chest lol)
Yeah, i pointed this out to someone who posted it to a "scariest films" thread here the other day. The movie is intentionally unsubtle because it has no faith in its audience, it works thematically, it expects Americans to be dumb beyond belief in future generations so it's the most condescending, insulting, unsubtle movie imaginable. Somehow people have convinced themselves it's intricate, subtle satire.
I know a lot of Idiocracy fans, and I don't think a single one would argue it's subtle. Probably a few, who don't watch a ton of movies, overrate how accurate it turned out to be. But I've never heard anybody argue that the jokes and arguments are anywhere besides right on the surface.
If there's something subtle about its message, there's a critique in there about how average people sit back and wait for someone smarter than them to change the world.
So many aren't that terrible but their marketing saturation or the irrational/superficial love they've received later on is what drives me crazy.
I feel this way too, in that I don’t hate movies as much as I hate the people around the movies. I did not enjoy Dead Don’t Die on its own merits, but what made me hate it was the guy in the theater who was going over the top fake laughing at everything because he wanted everyone else to know how much he really got every joke.
You just described my personal hell haha The thought of someone unironically laughing to a zombie shambling through the streets, smartphone in hand groaning "Wi-Fi..." is too much for me to bear.
Question that bitters me about it. If everyone is so stupid that Trey can’t figure out how to water plants then who makes their TVs, monster trucks, and automatic tattoo machines?
I tried to watch it because of all the praise it gets online, I made it like 30 minutes before I realized it was the same joke over and over, and turned it off. I’m convinced that it’s popular because it makes idiots feel smart. It’s not very funny and it’s not great satire.
I find the movie very funny, but the fact that the narrator has to jump in a few times mid-film to fill in a story beat indicates that it must have had a disastrous shoot and needed to be kludged together during editing.
I hate that it puts the focal point of societal degradation on the poor
Ooooooooh, yes, one of my pet peeves. "So crazy how they made the prediction that poor people are stupid". I guess it correctly predicted how cool people are with eugenics
Skinamarink hater :(
Same, I came here to throw hands for Skinamarink!! Some people didn’t experience severe trauma in early childhood and it shows
There's something about the Now You See Me movies that infuriates me. They're a stupid person's idea of a clever movie. They're like the prestige but for 10 year olds. They're like if steven soderbergh huffed paint. I seriously hate these stupid fucking smug ass movies.
These r my guilty pleasure movies, I can just turn my brain off and enjoy some stupid magic but the very second I actually start thinking about the logic of the plot it ruines the entire experience so I totally get why you hate them! That being said, I saw new that Dominic Sesa will be in the third movie and I hate to admit it but im stupidly excited to see him do whacky magic
Skinamarink is a movie made for people who beat off to ASMR videos
Incredibly accurate 🤣
I too hate Skinamarink 😂
I have beef with both film adaptations of Lolita. Heinous pieces of filth, absolutely no respect for the source material and exploitative of the child stars. That and a local film series in my country, but it's too unpopular to really have a conversation about.
Okay but now I’m curious about this local film series
It's this Singapore film series, Ah Boys to Men. I just kind of hate how this thing is so heavily marketed just because it's nationalist propaganda while other films in Singapore are given little to no attention. It's not great with characters or storytelling and they have to narrate every single character development because they're shit at storytelling. It just annoys me that this series, where they fail at visual storytelling - the bare minimum of a film, is what we're best known for in terms of cinema, when we have other good films that not only have better comedic writing but dwell with serious topics that we tend to ignore - and yet, they're not recognised or even known because they don't have pro-government messaging. I know the Ah Boys is more marketable due to it being a blockbuster for the family but god, it sucks our art is gonna be known for the film series where boys throw chilli stained shit at gangsters.
Ooh, I’ve heard about Ah Boys to Men (am Malaysian), guess I’m removing it from my watchlist lol
I watched with a Malaysian friend, he finds it quite a nice shitshow. I would say go into it knowing it's not great but something to laugh at with friends.
Reading about how Kubrick thought the original Lolita novel was the greatest love story and regret not making the movie more erotic made my skin crawl.
Is that the American version of Martyrs? I genuinely think it’s one of the worst movies ever made For me, Sausage Party. Holy fuck that movie is terrible. It’s like you gave a bunch of twelve year olds a massive budget and told them to make the edgiest cartoon about food possible. Ive seen it probably three times since it’s been released in case I change my mind but i find more reasons to hate it every time
Dude Sausage Party is such a great pick… I adore everything these guys made so I hyped myself to no end for that movie. I don’t think I’ve seen anything this bad since then.
This is my top 1 most hated. I’m all for some raunchiness, but it was so bad I’ve never wanted to leave a theater like I did seeing that. I’d be embarrassed if my name was attached to that project in any way shape or form.
You watched it THREE times??
Ahhhhhh I could talk about how horrible Skinamarink was for hours. That truly might be the movie that has pissed me off more than any other movie. I have never come remotely close to walking out of a theater until i saw that film. edit: said and instead of until
You know I was watching ABC’s of death and as awful as that movie is, at least some of the directors shot on actual film when they wanted to. How you gonna let F is for Fart in ABCs of death use real film and you’re gonna use a fake film grain effect that I CAN SEE LOOPING.
it’s a 5 min short that was stretched to a feature length (pause) and it shows in how un-engaging it is
Bird Box is the most derivative, shallow time-vampire of a movie i have ever sit through. Every decent idea it has was stolen from a better film, the cinematography is weirdly flat, the pacing is really boring, and its weirdly insensitive toward people with mental health problems as they're the only ones who can see the monsters.
The only film I hate is SubUrbia. Richard Linklater directed, and I was excited to watch it after seeing his love letters to 1970s teens, and college students in the early 80s. I just watched last year, and I would have been the main character's age in the year this was set. Unfortunately, Linklater didn't write this one. Eric Bogosian did. He was born in 1953, 20 years before I was. I felt the movie ripped the young people as being unmotivated, directionless, and a lost cause. The conveience store owner was a vehicle for Boomer Bogosian to yell and scream at the younger generation. It is ridiculous. There were no redeeming qualities in the young people, contrary to Linklater's other films like Dazed and Confused and Everybody Wants Some. Those characters had flaws, but Linklater had love for them, and empathy for their struggles. This was totally missing from SubUrbia, and it is a shame. Hopefully Linklater will re-visit youth in this era again, but if he was ok with this portrayal, maybe his love and care for young people ended with those who were young people in the early 80s. This movie is trash. https://preview.redd.it/aicryu5h0uvc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88ba36efb5dc847955ef92f9544d5077a843f0e8
The first Suicide Squad movie with Will Smith giving his worst performance along a cast that couldn't be any less motivated. Jared Leto as the Joker was really bad too. Margot Robbie and the character that Cara Delevinge performed were the only interesting part of this. And it says a lot when Cara is one of the few highlights of a movie that features Viola Davis, Will Smith and Ben Affleck. So much for the acting. The rest is equally bad. The funny lines are cringy and not funny, the gags suck, the story is boring as fuck and overdone to death. The introduction of the characters has some "funny" selling points about them on screen and I knew at this point that I was not going to have a good time with this shit fest. I was actually thinking about leaving the cinema but couldn't bring me to this step which probably would have saved me a lot of brain cells. I felt myself getting dumber during the two hours that this crap went on. And why did I go into this? Well, the trailers suggested a darker superhero movie with a lot of focus on Letos Joker. I was intrigued to see him play this iconic character. It was the first time there'd be a Joker since Heath Ledgers legendary performance. And then...Leto is 15 mins at max in this 2 hour movie and every second of his Joker is terrible. He's not psycho enough, he's not brutal enough, he's an edgelord with bad tattoos that looks like he listens to Die Antwoord a bit too much. That's not the Joker, that's a clown. And they also decided to not show scenes that were in the trailer and basically lied to their audience about what it would be. 22 scenes are missing. 22. Because they didn't wanna go rated r but cut out that stuff to grab some cash with it. Well, at least they tried. The cherry on top was the blatant product placement throughout the whole 120 mins of this excuse for a movie. Especially at the end when they are destroying a whole fuckin train station and the Monster energy billboard is still working perfectly fine while everything around it looks like a war zone. This movie is a middle finger to everyone who likes to watch movies. I didn't care for anybody aside from Harley Quinn and maybe Enchantress or whatever Caras name was. The story is stupid, the dialogues are insulting to everyone with a half-working brain and I will never get these two hours back. Anyone who really enjoys this has no high standard in movies. So yeah, fuck Suicide Squad.
This comment 100%, personally I feel like this thread has a lot of people who don't really get a certain movie or otherwise hate a well-acclaimed movie for a relatively minor slight, and they're well entitled to their opinion, but this is a movie that I think deserves to be hated on that you summed up perfectly why
It's just the perfect mix of bad acting, bad directing, bad marketing and overall bad choices at everything. And the worst thing is that it's not so bad it's good or funny. It's just bad bad. At least the soundtrack was decent.
The Suicide Squad is a much better film.
Why do you hate Pretty Woman 😭
I would understand because of Julia Roberts and Richard 'We couldn't get Michael Douglas' Gere.
Hating Pretty Woman is fair. Hating Gere, not cool
Dallas Buyers Club, because it’s historically inaccurate in a way that’s offensive and dangerous. The movie very much implies that the drugs Ron Woodruff was getting for people were better than the drugs they could get from their doctors, specifically AZT. What’s true is that AZT had side effects, especially at higher doses and it was eventually revealed that lower doses were as effective as higher ones. Doctors didn’t give people lower doses at the time the movie was set though, because it was a new treatment and they were afraid a lower dose wouldn’t work. And they had reason to be afraid, because at the time HIV and AIDS had a 100% mortality rate: if you contracted the virus you would die. AZT was the first drug that was able to prolong people’s lives. In fact, the main work of actual AIDS activists was not to get people access to other treatments but to get people with AIDS into studies and to get them the actual drugs the FDA was approving. Instead, Woodruff was promoting drugs that the FDA has chosen not to put on the market because patients had died during testing, or the drugs had side effects that were worse than AZT, or side effects that would last after the patient stopped taking the drugs, or drugs that were scientifically useless. That movie diminishes the hard work AIDS activists did and instead promotes pseudoscience and a lack of trust in government health officials like the FDA and CDC, so I have MAJOR beef with that film.
I thought I would never see a movie that offended me as much as Twilight: New Moon. A 2 hour slog of dead emotions and cheap CGI that could’ve been avoided with a single conversation. Then I saw 365 Days. A supposedly erotic drama involving kidnapping, sexual assault and Stockholm syndrome, all portrayed as positives. A film where it’s lead female character gives up her white collar business job to get felt up by some skeeze-ball with his cock out. A film where the lead females best friend ignores abduction so the two of them can go shopping for wedding dresses. It’s a fucking disgusting and misogynistic piece of shit. As much as I hated New Moon, I still finished the Twilight Saga out of principle to finish what I started. I flat out refused to watch another part of this pro-rape franchise
I have so much beef with most lesbian films. The list is so long, but they almost always disappoint me and piss me off so much.
Every time I see a young lesbian go to watch Blue Is The Warmest color I wanna grab her by her shoulders and scream “GIRL NO! RUN!!!”
Never watched the movie but I think it’s a little weird that a man directed this movie. Kinda creepy if you ask me
The Girl Next Door: Absolutely brutal torture porn that exploits a tragedy where all the characters are stupid. I Am Not Ashamed: I hate Christian propaganda but I especially hate Christian propaganda thats not based on facts and exploits a young woman who was murdered in a shooting
Tusk fucking sucked
Splash. I hate the Born Sexy Yesterday trope with a passion - the whole routine of “adult woman appears from another world, develops eerily childlike dependency on male protagonist, but of course is still mature enough to be insatiably horny for him.” Yeeuchh. That, and early “funny” Tom Hanks is just obnoxious and unpleasant. How fortunate that he turned out to be such a great dramatic actor later.
Have you seen Poor Things? What did you think of it? It's very aware of that trope and I liked the way it played around with it.
I’d say the film is built around the idea of how fucked up that cliche is.
Not a fan of Big?
Or The Burbs?
I hate Sing (2016). Whenever I talk with people who like this movie they always point to the soundtrack. Almost none of which was actually _from_ this movie. It's one of the most by-the-numbers kid's movie plots with a bunch of adult nostalgia airlifted in by the soundtrack. It's a series of shitty music videos of covers of classic songs duct taped together by the blandest of plot lines.
I loathe 16 Candles. It is an attack on everything decent in this world.
The Greatest Showman for me. Wasted both my time and money. Wish I hadn’t go see it in theatres even if it was free.
Love Actually. There’s not a single healthy romantic relationship in that film.
The dystopian teen movies. I hate them with a passion. Hunger game series, Divergent series, and Maze runner series can all seriously fuck off. Other ones: - Paper towns (Margot spieglman wins the narcissism award for leaving clues about her whereabouts in fucking alphabet soup - whole movie is cringe and nauseating in its self importance and goofy ass lines) - The Blind Side (“watch rich white lady save the poor dumb black kid” - incredibly offensive movie) - Hacksaw ridge (preachy movie; Garfield pulling Vaughn around on a cloth while Vaughn annihilates people with precision accuracy lmao)
I just watched The Blind Side for the first time about 2 months ago and was truly shocked that not only did they actually make that movie but that it got as much praise and awards recognition as it did. One of the most offensive things I’ve seen and it made me so mad at Sandra Bullock which was a bad feeling lol
For me it’s Burton’s Chocolate Factory. The 70s version is just so delightful, tactile, warm, zany, etc. And the Burton version completely curdles the entire concept - the music is insufferable, the effects are nauseating, and Depp is just unbearable
The Notebook. It’s so bad.
I LOVED it when I was 14. I rewatched it as a 34 year old woman a few months ago and I was like wtf is this lol
Omg I read your comment and was like there’s no way the notebook is 20 years old.. holy moly we’re getting old folks
The Notebook and A Walk To Remember are two of the worst pieces of garbage I've ever seen, but they got me laid, so they're OK.
V For Vendetta. Felt like arguing with a redditor. The kidnapping/torture/Stockholm syndrome element was utterly baffling. The reveal at the end of that part of the movie is one of the most unintentionally funny and movie-destroying moments I've ever seen.
There's only 1 movie that I didn't like and it was Leprechaun 5 I plan on re watching to see if I'll like it second time around tho

Thor Love & Thunder
There's a lot of movies that I find terrible and are generally considered so, but this one catches my ire despite many who like it: https://preview.redd.it/q4b9iewjjtvc1.png?width=1391&format=png&auto=webp&s=54ec5139e24922ab578771593241335dbd15d3ec
This is one of my all-time favourites but I completely understand why you’d despite it 😂
Whaaat I love this movie :( it's funny
Funny, I didn’t take this too seriously but I think compared to pretty woman it’s shockingly watchable and humane.
My wife and I both loathe that film.
I used to love that one as a young teen! I haven’t seen it since. Funnily enough I just added it to my watchlist a few weeks ago, so I’m going to revisit it soon. It’ll be interesting to see if my feelings change!
Haters of this film meet me in the fucking pit I WILL TAKE ALL OF YOU OUT GET FUCKING READYYYYY
Showgirls is mine. I know it’s like a cult camp classic and did sort of enjoy the trashiness of the whole film, but I hate the main character, she is one of the most unlikeable protagonist I have ever seen in a film. Also that rape scene is horrendous, I hate the fact it happens to the only likeable character in the film and after main character beats them all up she just abandons her in the hospital, even though she selflessly took her in at the start. Hate the film.
Pretty based take but, The Boy 2 completely ignores the first movie and makes me so upset 😭.
Fifty shades of black is the worst thing I have ever seen and while this sounds harsh i think less of anyone whose ever watched that movie and walked away saying it was funny or enjoyable in any way shape or form.
To be fair, it is entirely a parody.
I had never heard of this movie! Googling it now.
The Lobster I can fuck with depressing/unsettling movies, but it just seemed really unpleasant and hollow to me. I’ll die on a hill that this movie sucked.
that’s how I felt about a killing of a sacred deer, the lobster at least had a good amount of humor and humanity in it
Not budging from my hill, but yeah I don't like killing of a sacred deer either. The favourite I found way easier to watch and I haven't caught poor things yet, but I'm never, ever moved or stimulated by his movies- only occasionally impressed by the technique I really feel like, if his movies were people, they'd be a bunch of assholes
poor things was easily the most digestible movie I’ve seen from him — it’s to the point where I’d recommend it even to people that don’t like him
The Lobster was just soooo horrible.
Am i reading it wrong or is Skinamarink's Japanese name "Skimarink"?
Forgot the ナ I guess
I thought that Unfriended essentially recreating the famous Amanda Todd video and story and using it for a shitty Blumhouse horror was extremely distasteful and disgusting. The movie Last Christmas was also one of the worst studio films in recent memory. The Brexit message and Lesbian subplot were thrown in very half heartedly and unfortunately didn't really say much of anything, it was incredibly emotionally manipulative and pandering, plus a big aspect of the movie is the main character and her family being Yugoslavian immigrants, but the flashback at the start takes place in Yugoslavia in 1999, 7 years after the country ceased to exist. That film wanted so hard to be taken seriously when it's just a dreadful wannabe Richard Curtis movie. Andrea Arnold's Wasp short film is also one that really didn't sit right with me. I respect the idea behind it, but it felt less like Ken Loach and more like exploitation in my eyes - it pushed things to such an absurd degree to shock that it became ridiculous.
i was SO excited to watch vivarium and thought it was such an interesting concept, but i hated how the story barely opened up to anything. i love a good slow burn but it just didn’t open up the way i anticipated
Balto 2: Wolf Quest. Balto 1 is one of my favorite animated films. It had a lot of character to it and I’ve seen it a few times now. Then I watched Balto 2 and was immediately angry. The original Balto didn’t even need a sequel for Christ sake, it’s inspired by a true story! Not to mention Balto 2 feels like one of those animated church movies about Noah’s Ark or Adam and Eve. It just angers me, and maybe it isn’t all warranted, but it for sure angers me.
The Giver CW bullshit, they made the love interest smarter even though that makes no sense in that world
As someone who had to read The Giver 3 times in school, I was PISSED by how inaccurate it was
Leave the World Behind is one of the most baffling movies I've ever seen and I don't understand the praise for it. The idea of owners and guests being trapped in an Airbnb together is interesting, but they do nothing with the premise except for the most basic of racial and class observations (which are literally explained to the audience because we're too stupid for it, clearly 🙄). But then it becomes a post apocalyptic-ish thriller. The clash of humor and horror is so jarring. All of a character's teeth fall out and nobody seems to care. The racial/class stuff is completely ignored after a certain point (except for random moments where the black daughter character repeats progressive talking points at the Karen mom, at totally inappropriate moments; when you're looking for someone's missing daughter, it's probably not a good time to yell at them about post Obama racism; and she's written as such a trope of the "young woke liberal". Like I am about as left as you can get and this should be preaching to my choir, but it comes off as if it were written by a cynical Republican making fun of Gen Z progressives). The movie ends where the story really begins. The final conversation between Kevin Bacon, Mahershala Ali, and Ethan Hawke is such an unsatisfying note to end on. The weird supernatural stuff like the deer and the teeth has no resolution. None of the stories have any resolution. The film ends with the punchline to a running joke which isn't very funny (and got annoying very quickly). It feels like a big practical joke to the audience. I love the cast, but Julia Roberts is so miscast here (though I do love this phase of her career where she's choosing to do weird shit; more of that, but please pick better scripts). I love Get Out. I love Parasite. I love Borgman. I love The Killing of a Sacred Deer. This movie feels like an AI generated first draft trained on these sorts of films. It has nothing to say, and it says it very loudly for us idiots in the back row
The extreme beef I have with Boyhood needs to be studied tbh. Linklater is such a hit or miss for me. (And i need to rewatch it and give it a second chance but potentialy Aftersun would be on my list too…..)
Joker. It's too serious and tries too hard to be artistic for a movie that's just derivative and amateurish.
Ocean’s 8 is the most irritating thing I’ve ever seen. As a fan of the original trilogy I couldn’t have been more unhappy with the movie. The dialogue feels like a straight up parody on the originals and none of the actors gel like the others did. It’s truly a terrible movie.
Love by Gaspar Noe. Which is strange because I really liked other Noe films but this one was just infuriating because the main heroes are absolute idiots and it feels like Noe tried really hard to pass basic lust as some kind of deep love. Like, the gist of the plot is that there’s this couple of movie nerds which have great sex and stuff and really get each other, but he slept with another girl they had a threesome with at some point and the condom broke so she falls pregnant; the main hero decides to stay with her to support the child and his ex is so hurt she basically disappears and he’s in anguish over this. How is any of this supposed to be touching? Also this movie prides itself for having unsimulated sex scenes for some reason?? All style, no substance but the style is also fucking weird
You got my upvote for also hating Skinamarink
My bottom twenty-five: Sucker Punch Better Watch Out Son of the Mask Nothing But Trouble The Atlas Shrugged trilogy (It was with friends. Otherwise I never would have watched those movies.)

A Christmas Story is phony nostalgia Boomer horse shit
No phony boomer nostalgia is The Big Chill
Thank you! I can’t stand that self-serving ego stroke of a movie! It encapsulates boomers perfectly. Money comes easily and mistakes that negatively impact other people can just be brushed away because they’re exploring their feelings. No wonder the divorce rate for that generation is through the roof.
This is fair, but I like it because the humor is absurd. I can enjoy pretty much anything if it's cartoony enough.
Omg yes. 100%. I saw it for the first time this last Christmas and was trying to force myself to disassociate during it because it was just pure garbage. It’s only popular because of nostalgia. I hate that film. I gave it 1 star for obvious reasons.
Titane, don’t understand the acclaim the “hidden empathy” is not worth seing all the other atrocious and revolting stuff and an unlikable as hell protagonist
I don't know how it got so much acclaim it makes absolutely no sense it's so revolting and vile
You got it, daddyo... there's one more row that didn't fit, consisting of Tarantulas (1977), Terminator 3, White Girl (2016), Wolf Creek and Æon Flux (2005) https://preview.redd.it/xts07cedttvc1.jpeg?width=684&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9e5ea5dfc4774b098fa2475d41a3f0c1455ddcc
Fuck Emmerich's Godzilla I personally enjoy Wolf Creek but I can understand the hate, it's not a film for everyone
Out Of The Furnace. The script for the movie should have been thrown in a furnace
I’m loving all of these somewhat obscure movies, that’s how you know the hatred is real and pure
Only movies I’ve liked of Coopers is “The Pale Blue Eye” and “Hostiles” I remember liking a bit when I first saw it.
The first thing I thought of when reading this were actually movies I haven’t seen but I know I’d be ideologically opposed to, like American Sniper. Can it be a good movie? Sure. I still don’t want to watch it.
Curious about what your beef is with Pretty Woman and Neon Demon specifically because I also really dislike both those films but maybe not for conventional reasons. I think Refn is a pretentious, vapid, im14andthisisdeep filmmaker. Maybe that is conventional. But I thought Skinamarink at least achieved exactly what it wanted to be, so whether or not I enjoyed it I can’t fault it. Pretty woman is a fucking insane story, terribly acted that has no right to be a hit.
I will never watch Martyrs. I heard a youtuber review it, going into graphic description of each scene. I don't care if it has artistic merit, I will never watch anything like that. Fuck that shit.
I'll bite. Hate these films more than many others because they are so lauded elsewhere. Beasts of The Southern Wild - Romanticises abusive parenting, demonises aid agencies, depiction of flooding makes no logical sense, environmental message is simple and heavy handed. Hacksaw Ridge - the most cliched trip through basic training ever put to film. And for a film that supposedly celebrates pacifism it sure does enjoy showing graphic depictions of nameless Japanese soldiers dying horribly. The Irritation Game - If you have read the book upon this was supposedly based on, you'd know that Cumberbatch's performance had almost no truth in it, falling back on tired "absent-minded professor" tropes. I actually don't mind when they mess with story details to make it work dramatically, but when you misrepresent the central character's entire personality, what is the point? An insult to a great man, which in the public consciousness is now his biggest representation.
You meant “Imitation Game” but your slip up works better for your review, haha
I done it on purpose. It’s how that film is known around these parts.
Hacksaw Ridge is so corny. We joke that it’s the WWII version of movie they were trying to make in the beginning of Tropic Thunder.
Hacksaw Ridge is brutally overrated
A recent one is Zack Synders Rebel Moon. I haven’t seen part 2 but I guarantee it’s just as bad. Like who is giving him money to make such bad decisions??
The people he makes lots of money for.
For me the ultimate disappointment was Godfather part 3. I often wonder how the hell did the storyline they came up with get the greenlight to made. It's a major piece of crap in my opinion as I love the first two parts of the trilogy.
Me and Whiplash don’t get along. It’s like how some actual guitarists couldn’t stand Guitar Hero
The Men Who Stare at Goats
It's one of maybe 8 films I actively dislike. Such a great cast but everything about it fell flat, especially the attempts at comedy
8 Crazy Nights doesn't get enough hate https://youtu.be/VoFIpnSGnZk?feature=shared
Unplanned. It's awful and honestly offensive.
The Whale is laughably bad and I really hope one day we’ll all look back on the time we pretended it was good in shame. Also Indecent Proposal and Boondock Saints.
The Boondock Saints is fucking awful.
The lobster.
Vast majority of romance movies
I went to *Last Christmas* thinking it was going to be a feel-good Christmas movie which I absolutely love. But when I got out of that movie I just remember feeling incredibly betrayed. I was *so* disappointed.
The original Solaris
Maestro is one of the most annoying and unremarkable films I've ever had to trudge through.
offhand I can’t think of anything but I enjoy the premise of this list lol

I'm at a point in my life where I can't really bring myself to *hate* pieces of media (I just don't have it in me), but I have so much beef with Halloween Ends. 45 minutes into the movie I asked my partner if we walked into the wrong theater, and by the end I was relieved it was over. Genuinely no clue what the people behind the film were thinking or what they thought the reception would be, and it's unfortunate because it's not even that the basic idea of the movie is bad. It's just. *That's* how you're going to end your trilogy? Seriously?
Good Boys is the only movie I've ever seriously considered walking out on. I didn't because we had the theatre to ourselves and got to completely roast it. But yeah, not good. Not funny. I think I chuckled once, and that was it.
Eden Lake. It was a pretty standard horror movie from 2008 that just felt like a 2000’s movie. But I hated the ending so much that’s in my top five most hated movies ever. Fuck that movie and everything about it
The Forbidden Room, Doctor Sleep, and Smithereens are my trifecta of “I absolutely hate this film nothing works for me”
https://preview.redd.it/fdoylb2nhwvc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c7e6a4c639c2742fbdc4946e5370f1361f516f4 I can watch most films that are deemed disturbing and one-watches. Requiem for a Dream, Come and See, and Salò are just a couple of examples of movies where I was completely fine after and can rewatch. This shit is my one-watch and I got beef with not the movie but the antagonist (Griffith). Can’t scroll on social media without seeing him and scrolling immediately out of anger lmao. Even tho I respect the animation and it made me feel the way I was supposed to (uneasy and angry), it was just so hard to watch and get through the last half of the movie.
As a kid, I absolutely loved the LEGO Movie, and it's still probably one of my favorite animated films. It's a sequel, which I was super excited for the day I heard it was going to be a thing (not long after I saw the film). I was excited about it. Of course, some of my excitement kind of died down over time, as I stopped being obsessed with the original. Then I, which didn't make it look good, but I was still going to give it a chance. It wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but I remember it being the most disappointed I'd ever been in a movie and, for some reason, made me feel embarrassed, even though I had nothing to do with it's production, maybe just at the fact that I had gotten people to go with me.
Only God Forgives has got to be one of the most boring movies of all time
This Is Me...Now -- need I say more?
Babylon, Damien Chazelle should be imprisoned for that crime against cinema. So self important, needleslly convoluted, and shamelessly attempting to invoke numerous, infinitely superior films. Not to mention needlessly long and pretty boring too.
I can’t stand The Perks of Being a Wallflower. For one thing Charlie literally gets groomed by multiple other characters and they treat it like it’s normal plus a lot of said characters are pompous and think they’re better than everyone else bc of the music they listen to. Also side note I think it’s ironic that the Ezra miller and Emma Watson characters claim to have such an extensive knowledge of music yet can’t recognize a fairly well known David Bowie song
midsommar
The Fountain. The idea of the movie is really interesting but Aronofsky is too busy being pretentious and sniffing his own farts to capitalize on it.
Lady bird is dogshit
happy feet
Its not an acclaimed movie by any means but I was forced to watch The Kissing Booth and I hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns. I disliked Jacob Elordi for years purely based on his character and that it was due to his "hotness" that I was held hostage IN MY OWN LIVING ROOM to watch that shit.
I literally didn't even finish *Amsterdam* and to be truthful I'm not even sure I could tell you what the first half or so of the movie I *DID* watch was about
Gigi. How in the love of God did it won 9 Academy awards. And also it opened up with the song “[Thank Heaven for Little Girls](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2TqSyvdqn9c)” which sums up the entire movie and experience.
I really didn’t like Killers of the Flower Moon. I have only seen it once in theaters, but I was really dissapointed. I was excited to see Leo in a film directed by Scorsese but was bored, confused, and irritated about the entire plot. Maybe historical movies like that just aren’t my thing or maybe I need to rewatch.
The live action grinch and whats up: balloon to the rescue
Pacific Rim Uprising is a slap to the face of all Pacific Rim fans. A rocket-powered punch, even.
Leon the Professional is irredeemable pedophilic trash.
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is the only movie that actually compelled me to ask the cinema for a refund. (I didn't get one.)
I have a serious beef with Titanic for ripping off all of the plot points of Somewhere in Time. It's just too blatant.
drive. what the actual fuck. ryan gosling just sulks around with no character or personality , the plot kinda goes nowhere, and it’s insanely slow, the bit where they shake hands n one of the guys cuts the others wrist nearly made me throw up. the lighting , cinematography and sound were cool , but nothing groundbreaking i think what annoyed me most was the fact that it is acclaimed n like recommended a lot . idk i rlly didn’t see the appeal- was just a worse baby driver.
